Subject: Needs quotation source

Ahlan ya Jama'a,

I heard a quotation once and am having a hard time citing it, and don't know if it is, in fact, citable.  It is about the poet al-Farazdaq and goes as follows:

لو لا الفرزدق لذهب ثلث لغة العرب

I'd appreciate any help you can give.

Salamat,
Cory Jorgensen

Dear Colleagues,
 
Are there any studies of the jamʿ al-jamʿ phenomenon, e.g.,
 
fatḥ > futūḥ > futūḥāt
fayḍ > fuyūḍ > fuyūḍāt
rajul > rijāl > rijālāt
 
and why only certain plurals are pluralized again and not others? Is there a list of common plurals that are pluralized again somewhere?

Subject: New Book:Arabic Dialectology

Title: Modern Trends in Arabic Dialectology 
Publication Year: 2011 
Publisher: Langues et Linguistique
	   http://y.ennaji.free.fr/fr/
	
Editor: Mohamed Embarki
Editor: Moha Ennaji

Paperback: ISBN: 1569023476  Pages: 242 Price: U.S. $ 29.95


Abstract:

The relevance of this book is highlighted first by the fact that
language-based approaches are still lacking in Arabic dialectology. The
classification of Arabic dialects is not yet entirely satisfactory.
Geographical and sociological layers were traditionally based on the
assumption that the saliency of some features in the Modern Arabic dialects
is the product of two different processes: diffusion and innovation.
However, this traditional approach is not consistent with the history of
Arabic. For instance, the saliency of some features that support the
classification of the Modern dialects varies according to features that can
be  traced back to Classical Arabic, Islamic dialects, Old Arabic dialects,
or proto-Arabic.

Another explicative process has been, to some extent, neglected in the
study of Arabic dialects, namely inheritance. Some phonological features
currently present in Modern Arabic dialects cannot be explained by any of
the two terms of this paradigm. As long as the mapping of Western
approaches on Arabic dialects seems to be relatively unsatisfactory,
diffusion and innovation are found to be incomplete to explain the extreme
variability of the linguistic features of the Arabic dialects. Since some
features appear in very distant isolated isoglosses, they are consistent
neither with diffusion nor with concomitant innovation; only their
underlyingly inherited nature could provide a logical scheme. 

Introducing the process of inheritance, besides diffusion and innovation,
aims to enlarge our knowledge of the history of the Modern Arabic dialects.
The threefold paradigm is more accurate to perform satisfying explanations
of the features of similarity and dissimilarity between Old Arabic and
Modern Arabic dialects, at the synchronic and diachronic levels. This
division necessitates evaluating actual geographical and sociological
classifications of Modern Arabic dialects, as well as our interpretations
of the similarity and dissimilarity of linguistic features in the Arabic area.

Even if language-specific approaches to Arabic dialects are lacking, and
the mapping of Western constructs unappealing, this fact should not justify
per se constructing new completely compartmentalized trends in Arabic
dialectology. Cross-cultural outlooks as widely experienced in the first
stages of the Arabic empire in the Orient as well as during the Islamic
kingdoms of Spain, remain an essential motor that must lead to build up
specific approaches for the study of Arabic dialects.

This book aims to shed light on recent trends in Arabic dialectology.
Cross-cultural analyses are provided by scholars from different origins
(Arabic native speakers and excellent Arabists) and from different
linguistic backgrounds (Arabic, Berber, English, French, Hebrew, Spanish).
The chapters are all devoted to produce systematic descriptions and
analyses of Arabic dialects. The book is divided into three thematic
sections: (a) Theoretical and Historical Perspectives and Methods in Arabic
Dialectology; (b) Eastern Arabic Dialects; and (c) Western Arabic Dialects.

Subject: L2 Learning as Social Practice

The National Foreign Language Resource Center is pleased to announce its newest 
publication, the second volume in our Pragmatics & Interation series:

L2 LEARNING AS SOCIAL PRACTICE: CONVERSATION-ANALYTIC PERSPECTIVES by Gabriele 
Pallotti & Johannes Wagner (Eds.) (2011) 380pp.

This volume collects empirical studies applying Conversation Analysis to 
situations where second, third and other additional languages are used. A 
number of different aspects are considered, including how linguistic systems 
develop over time through social interaction, how participants 'do' language 
learning and teaching in classroom and everyday settings, how they select 
languages and manage identities in multilingual contexts and how the 
linguistic-interactional divide can be bridged with studies combining 
Conversation Analysis and Functional Linguistics. This variety of issues and 
approaches clearly shows the fruitfulness of a socio-interactional perspective 
on second language learning. PRAGMATICS & INTERACTION, a refereed series 
sponsored by the University of Hawai'i National Foreign Language Resource

Subject: 

Dear Arabic student,

If you're serious about learning Arabic, we want to give you the tools to realize that goal. 
We at www.verbling.com connect language learners to native speakers so that they can practice the language they're learning.
We've had massive success connecting English native speakers with Spanish native speakers, and we now want to expand to English and Arabic. 
We need at least ten (10) Arabic-learners to sign up to be part of our focus group in order to make this a reality. The benefits for you are immense--you'll learn Arabic. The drawbacks--none. It's free and fast. Please email jake at verbling.com if this sounds interesting, and I'll answer all your questions. You need to email me in order to be part of the test group. You'll find more information below. 


Our press coverage
TV: http://bit.ly/pJvnG5

El País (largest newspaper in Spanish-speaking world): http://www.elpais.com/articulo/english/The/canny/Swedish/linguists/taking/language/intercambios/online/elpepueng/20110727elpeng_13/Ten

TechCrunch: http://techcrunch.com/2011/07/08/verbling-links-up-language-learners-with-native-speakers-through-live-video-chat/


What we are
www.verbling.com lets language learners video chat with native speakers. We’ve built a platform that uses P2P video technology to link up people worldwide so that they can learn from each other. For example, an American learning Arabic might be matched in a video chat with an Egyptian learning English inside the web browser. They practice Arabic first and then switch to English when prompted.

In contrast to how existing language communities work, our users don’t waste time browsing each other’s profiles or scheduling times that work for both of them. Instead, they’re instantly connected with a native speaker of the language they’re learning. They also never have to download anything to their computers. Verbling happens in the browser. 

As language learners and teachers ourselves, we found that the biggest barrier to reaching fluency was the lack of opportunity to practice with native speakers. We Verblings are working to solve that problem. 

What happened
We built conversation exchange software that pairs up language learners to native speakers so that they can practice the languages they're learning together. Shortly after we launched with English and Spanish, news network Al Arabiya wrote an article about us (without telling us), and we instantly had thousands and thousands of native Arabic speakers crowding the site trying to exchange their Arabic for English. This despite the fact that we'd only launched with English and Spanish and that we'd never publicly uttered a word about launching Arabic. These Arabic speakers are very persistent and insistent that we launch with Arabic--extremely motivated learners. If we get American students learning Arabic to sign up, we can and will launch the Arabic-English exchange. The Arabic native speakers have already made accounts and are ready to go. 

What you get
You get unlimited, free access to native speakers of Arabic who are extremely happy and willing to coach Arabic in exchange for some conversation time in English. You will be able to practice with them from the convenience of your own computer. As we literally have thousands and thousands of Arabic speakers eagerly awaiting the opportunity to practice with Americans, you would be guaranteed access to many speakers whenever you want the opportunity to practice with somebody native in the language you're studying. Additionally and obviously, the value in connecting language learners to the cultures and ways of life of real Arabic native speakers is immense and difficult to replicate. What we have is free, fast, and requires no download. It's instant and with around-the-clock support from the three founders. www.verbling.com

University or Organization: University of Erlangen-Nürnberg 
Department: Classical World and Asian Cultures
Job Location: Erlangen, Germany 
Web Address: http://www.orientalistik.uni-erlangen.de/
Job Rank: Full Professor  

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics; Arabic Studies

Required Language(s): Arabic, Standard (arb)

Description:

The Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and School of Theology invites 
applications for a 

W3-Professorship in Arabic Studies

at the Department of Classical World and Asian Cultures, Institute of Middle 
Eastern and Far Eastern Languages and Cultures, to be occupied as soon as 
possible.

The Professor will be expected to adequately represent the area of Arabic 
Studies both as a teacher and researcher, the emphasis being on the field of 
Linguistics. The duties include full cooperation in counselling students of 
Oriental Studies, Oriental Studies and Social Sciences, and Middle Eastern 
Studies. It is our wish to integrate Arabic Studies more fully into the MA 
Linguistics programme. At the University, the W3-Professorship will work 
very closely with the Interdisciplinary Centers (in particular 'Dialects and 
Language Variation', 'Lexicography, Valency and Collocation Research') and 
with the Middle East Section at the Center for Area Studies. In addition to 
this, the successful candidate will be expected to cooperate with the Institute 
of Oriental Studies at Bamberg University as part of the Bavarian Oriental 
Conference ('Orientkolloquium'). For this reason, we expect the applicant to 
be familiar with interdisciplinary activities. 

Qualifications include a university degree, educational capabilities and 
outstanding academic research skills, customarily acquired by way of an 
excellent PhD, habilitation, or equivalent academic qualification. The 
successful candidate will have an excellent command of written and spoken 
Arabic (standard and dialect), a good working knowledge of a further Oriental 
language, and study or research experience in the Arab world. The applicant 
is expected to acquire sufficient knowledge of the German language within an 
acceptable time period.

The successful candidate will be expected to take over administrative duties, 
further develop courses of studies and attract external funding.

At the time of appointment the candidate must not be older than 52 years of 
age. The Ministry for Science, Research and Art may allow an exception in 
special cases, which has to be approved by the Ministry of Finance. This 
appointment will be made by the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg.

The University of Erlangen-Nürnberg is committed to a pro-family policy, and 
as an equal opportunity employer supports dual-career couples. We strongly 
encourage women to apply in an effort to increase a female representation in 
research and teaching.

The University of Erlangen-Nürnberg pursues a policy of intensive study 
support of its students and expects therefore that its teaching staff maintain 
a substantial student contact time by being present at the university.

All other qualifications being equal handicapped persons will be given priority. 

Application documents (curriculum vitae, photograph, list of publications and 
teaching activities, copies of degree certificates but no publications) and a 
brief statement of research interests must be sent in print and electronic 
format not later than September 23, 2011, to the application address and 
email address below.

The authors of the recently-published "Arabi Liblib: Egyptian Colloquial Arabic for the Advanced Learner" have created a website designed to supplement the three volumes of Arabi Liblib.
The website contains numerous samples of authentic material (mostly video clips) which illustrate the expressions taught in the book. There is also an errata, and an area where users may go to post comments, ask questions, give suggestions, etc.
There is also an English index to Volume 1: adjectives, as well as some sample pages that you can view from volume one.

Subject: Collaboration in Islamic Manuscript Cataloging

Dear Colleagues,

The University of Michigan Library is in the final year of a three-year, grant-funded project to fully catalogue its Islamic Manuscripts Collection. Supported by a “Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives” grant administered by the Council on Library and Information Resources with generous funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the project, “Collaboration in Cataloging: Islamic Manuscripts at Michigan” has sought to engage established and emerging scholars by involving them in the cataloguing process – examination, description and generation of searchable metadata – for the collection of roughly 1,100 manuscripts in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish dating from the 8th to the 20th century CE.

The manuscripts are being digitized and made freely accessible through the HathiTrust Digital Library in order to facilitate the cataloguing work, which leverages a web-based “crowdsourcing” approach to generate rich and detailed descriptions addressing both material and textual characteristics. The efforts of project staff at the University of Michigan, led by project cataloguer Evyn Kropf, are thus supplemented by contributions from the wider scholarly community as colleagues interact with brief inventory descriptions and the digitized manuscripts via the project website  ( http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic )

As of now, 686 of the roughly 870 previously uncatalogued manuscripts have been fully or near fully catalogued. 134 of these are manuscripts for which digitization is not possible at this time.

We greatly appreciate your support for the project thus far, and would be especially grateful for any further contributions you could make to the cataloguing of the remaining manuscripts, including review of existing descriptive data where available.

Of the manuscripts remaining to be fully catalogued, most are from the following collections

Heyworth-Dunne
http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/category/heyworth-dunne

F. E. Nuttall
http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/category/nuttall

Sulaiman Purchase
http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/category/sulaiman-purchase-collection

Stephen Spaulding
http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/category/stephen-spaulding-mss

McGregor
http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/category/mcgregor

Cataloguing is also still underway for a number of fascinating manuscripts from the Abdul Hamid Collection http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/category/abdulhamid including:

several calligraphy albums http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/?s=calligraphic+abdulhamid

a possible collection of declarations issued by certain grand viziers during the reign of Mehmet II http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/4269

several majmū`āt, not all previously identified as such, among them http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/4247

and this “biographical work,” likely a collection of Ottoman chancery documents http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/3833

Your expertise is an invaluable complement to our local cataloguing efforts. Treasures from the collection are being unearthed, and we appreciate your continued participation in the cataloguing endeavors.

We look forward to seeing your comments posted to the project site and thank you in advance for your valuable contribution to this project.

Please feel free to forward any questions, comments and/or suggestions to project staff at islamic.manuscripts at umich.edu

Subject: Novels in Lebanese dialect?

Hello All,

In the past, I found reading novels and other material in Egyptian
dialect had helped me a lot.  I now have a need to rapidly improve my
Lebanese dialect knowledge and speaking.  Does anyone have good
recommendations on novels where there is frequent usage of Lebanese
dialect in dialogues or even totally written in dialect?  I am sure my
expectation shows my level of ignorance, so tell me if such a thing
does not exist in the way I imagine.  I could not find any records of
such novels on the internet.  I do not want to drawn contentious
comparisons, but I am looking for things along the lines of Taxi in
terms of novels.  I searched my archive of list emails, but I did not
exactly find what I was looking for.

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Al

I heard a quotation once and am having a hard time citing it, and don't know if it is, in fact, citable.  It is about the poet al-Farazdaq and goes as follows:

I'd appreciate any help you can give.

fay? > fuy?? > fuy???t
rajul > rij?l > rij?l?t
 
and why only certain plurals are pluralized again and not others? Is there a list of common plurals that are pluralized again somewhere?

Title: Modern Trends in Arabic Dialectology 
Publication Year: 2011 
Publisher: Langues et Linguistique
	   http://y.ennaji.free.fr/fr/
	
Editor: Mohamed Embarki
Editor: Moha Ennaji

Paperback: ISBN: 1569023476  Pages: 242 Price: U.S. $ 29.95


Abstract:

The relevance of this book is highlighted first by the fact that
language-based approaches are still lacking in Arabic dialectology. The
classification of Arabic dialects is not yet entirely satisfactory.
Geographical and sociological layers were traditionally based on the
assumption that the saliency of some features in the Modern Arabic dialects
is the product of two different processes: diffusion and innovation.
However, this traditional approach is not consistent with the history of
Arabic. For instance, the saliency of some features that support the
classification of the Modern dialects varies according to features that can
be  traced back to Classical Arabic, Islamic dialects, Old Arabic dialects,
or proto-Arabic.

Another explicative process has been, to some extent, neglected in the
study of Arabic dialects, namely inheritance. Some phonological features
currently present in Modern Arabic dialects cannot be explained by any of
the two terms of this paradigm. As long as the mapping of Western
approaches on Arabic dialects seems to be relatively unsatisfactory,
diffusion and innovation are found to be incomplete to explain the extreme
variability of the linguistic features of the Arabic dialects. Since some
features appear in very distant isolated isoglosses, they are consistent
neither with diffusion nor with concomitant innovation; only their
underlyingly inherited nature could provide a logical scheme. 

Introducing the process of inheritance, besides diffusion and innovation,
aims to enlarge our knowledge of the history of the Modern Arabic dialects.
The threefold paradigm is more accurate to perform satisfying explanations
of the features of similarity and dissimilarity between Old Arabic and
Modern Arabic dialects, at the synchronic and diachronic levels. This
division necessitates evaluating actual geographical and sociological
classifications of Modern Arabic dialects, as well as our interpretations
of the similarity and dissimilarity of linguistic features in the Arabic area.

Even if language-specific approaches to Arabic dialects are lacking, and
the mapping of Western constructs unappealing, this fact should not justify
per se constructing new completely compartmentalized trends in Arabic
dialectology. Cross-cultural outlooks as widely experienced in the first
stages of the Arabic empire in the Orient as well as during the Islamic
kingdoms of Spain, remain an essential motor that must lead to build up
specific approaches for the study of Arabic dialects.

This book aims to shed light on recent trends in Arabic dialectology.
Cross-cultural analyses are provided by scholars from different origins
(Arabic native speakers and excellent Arabists) and from different
linguistic backgrounds (Arabic, Berber, English, French, Hebrew, Spanish).
The chapters are all devoted to produce systematic descriptions and
analyses of Arabic dialects. The book is divided into three thematic
sections: (a) Theoretical and Historical Perspectives and Methods in Arabic
Dialectology; (b) Eastern Arabic Dialects; and (c) Western Arabic Dialects.

Subject: L2 Learning as Social Practice

The National Foreign Language Resource Center is pleased to announce its newest 
publication, the second volume in our Pragmatics & Interation series:

L2 LEARNING AS SOCIAL PRACTICE: CONVERSATION-ANALYTIC PERSPECTIVES by Gabriele 
Pallotti & Johannes Wagner (Eds.) (2011) 380pp.

This volume collects empirical studies applying Conversation Analysis to 
situations where second, third and other additional languages are used. A 
number of different aspects are considered, including how linguistic systems 
develop over time through social interaction, how participants 'do' language 
learning and teaching in classroom and everyday settings, how they select 
languages and manage identities in multilingual contexts and how the 
linguistic-interactional divide can be bridged with studies combining 
Conversation Analysis and Functional Linguistics. This variety of issues and 
approaches clearly shows the fruitfulness of a socio-interactional perspective 
on second language learning. PRAGMATICS & INTERACTION, a refereed series 
sponsored by the University of Hawai'i National Foreign Language Resource 
Center, publishes research on topics in pragmatics and discourse as social 
interaction from a wide variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives. 
P&I particularly welcomes studies on languages spoken in the Asian-Pacific 
region.

Subject: 

Dear Arabic student,

If you're serious about learning Arabic, we want to give you the tools to realize that goal. 
We at www.verbling.com connect language learners to native speakers so that they can practice the language they're learning.
We've had massive success connecting English native speakers with Spanish native speakers, and we now want to expand to English and Arabic. 
We need at least ten (10) Arabic-learners to sign up to be part of our focus group in order to make this a reality. The benefits for you are immense--you'll learn Arabic. The drawbacks--none. It's free and fast. Please email jake at verbling.com if this sounds interesting, and I'll answer all your questions. You need to email me in order to be part of the test group. You'll find more information below. 


Our press coverage
TV: http://bit.ly/pJvnG5

El Pa?s (largest newspaper in Spanish-speaking world): http://www.elpais.com/articulo/english/The/canny/Swedish/linguists/taking/language/intercambios/online/elpepueng/20110727elpeng_13/Ten

TechCrunch: http://techcrunch.com/2011/07/08/verbling-links-up-language-learners-with-native-speakers-through-live-video-chat/


What we are
www.verbling.com lets language learners video chat with native speakers. We?ve built a platform that uses P2P video technology to link up people worldwide so that they can learn from each other. For example, an American learning Arabic might be matched in a video chat with an Egyptian learning English inside the web browser. They practice Arabic first and then switch to English when prompted.

In contrast to how existing language communities work, our users don?t waste time browsing each other?s profiles or scheduling times that work for both of them. Instead, they?re instantly connected with a native speaker of the language they?re learning. They also never have to download anything to their computers. Verbling happens in the browser. 

As language learners and teachers ourselves, we found that the biggest barrier to reaching fluency was the lack of opportunity to practice with native speakers. We Verblings are working to solve that problem. 

What happened
We built conversation exchange software that pairs up language learners to native speakers so that they can practice the languages they're learning together. Shortly after we launched with English and Spanish, news network Al Arabiya wrote an article about us (without telling us), and we instantly had thousands and thousands of native Arabic speakers crowding the site trying to exchange their Arabic for English. This despite the fact that we'd only launched with English and Spanish and that we'd never publicly uttered a word about launching Arabic. These Arabic speakers are very persistent and insistent that we launch with Arabic--extremely motivated learners. If we get American students learning Arabic to sign up, we can and will launch the Arabic-English exchange. The Arabic native speakers have already made accounts and are ready to go. 

What you get
You get unlimited, free access to native speakers of Arabic who are extremely happy and willing to coach Arabic in exchange for some conversation time in English. You will be able to practice with them from the convenience of your own computer. As we literally have thousands and thousands of Arabic speakers eagerly awaiting the opportunity to practice with Americans, you would be guaranteed access to many speakers whenever you want the opportunity to practice with somebody native in the language you're studying. Additionally and obviously, the value in connecting language learners to the cultures and ways of life of real Arabic native speakers is immense and difficult to replicate. What we have is free, fast, and requires no download. It's instant and with around-the-clock support from the three founders. www.verbling.com

Job Rank: Full Professor  

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics; Arabic Studies

Required Language(s): Arabic, Standard (arb)

Description:

The Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and School of Theology invites 
applications for a 

W3-Professorship in Arabic Studies

at the Department of Classical World and Asian Cultures, Institute of Middle 
Eastern and Far Eastern Languages and Cultures, to be occupied as soon as 
possible.

The Professor will be expected to adequately represent the area of Arabic 
Studies both as a teacher and researcher, the emphasis being on the field of 
Linguistics. The duties include full cooperation in counselling students of 
Oriental Studies, Oriental Studies and Social Sciences, and Middle Eastern 
Studies. It is our wish to integrate Arabic Studies more fully into the MA 
Linguistics programme. At the University, the W3-Professorship will work 
very closely with the Interdisciplinary Centers (in particular 'Dialects and 
Language Variation', 'Lexicography, Valency and Collocation Research') and 
with the Middle East Section at the Center for Area Studies. In addition to 
this, the successful candidate will be expected to cooperate with the Institute 
of Oriental Studies at Bamberg University as part of the Bavarian Oriental 
Conference ('Orientkolloquium'). For this reason, we expect the applicant to 
be familiar with interdisciplinary activities. 

Qualifications include a university degree, educational capabilities and 
outstanding academic research skills, customarily acquired by way of an 
excellent PhD, habilitation, or equivalent academic qualification. The 
successful candidate will have an excellent command of written and spoken 
Arabic (standard and dialect), a good working knowledge of a further Oriental 
language, and study or research experience in the Arab world. The applicant 
is expected to acquire sufficient knowledge of the German language within an 
acceptable time period.

The successful candidate will be expected to take over administrative duties, 
further develop courses of studies and attract external funding.

At the time of appointment the candidate must not be older than 52 years of 
age. The Ministry for Science, Research and Art may allow an exception in 
special cases, which has to be approved by the Ministry of Finance. This 
appointment will be made by the University of Erlangen-N?rnberg.

The University of Erlangen-N?rnberg is committed to a pro-family policy, and 
as an equal opportunity employer supports dual-career couples. We strongly 
encourage women to apply in an effort to increase a female representation in 
research and teaching.

The University of Erlangen-N?rnberg pursues a policy of intensive study 
support of its students and expects therefore that its teaching staff maintain 
a substantial student contact time by being present at the university.

All other qualifications being equal handicapped persons will be given priority. 

Application documents (curriculum vitae, photograph, list of publications and 
teaching activities, copies of degree certificates but no publications) and a 
brief statement of research interests must be sent in print and electronic 
format not later than September 23, 2011, to the application address and 
email address below.

Subject: Arabi Liblib website

The authors of the recently-published "Arabi Liblib: Egyptian Colloquial Arabic for the Advanced Learner" have created a website designed to supplement the three volumes of Arabi Liblib.
The website contains numerous samples of authentic material (mostly video clips) which illustrate the expressions taught in the book. There is also an errata, and an area where users may go to post comments, ask questions, give suggestions, etc.
There is also an English index to Volume 1: adjectives, as well as some sample pages that you can view from volume one.
The webstie is at

Subject: Collaboration in Islamic Manuscript Cataloging

Dear Colleagues,

The University of Michigan Library is in the final year of a three-year, grant-funded project to fully catalogue its Islamic Manuscripts Collection. Supported by a ?Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives? grant administered by the Council on Library and Information Resources with generous funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the project, ?Collaboration in Cataloging: Islamic Manuscripts at Michigan? has sought to engage established and emerging scholars by involving them in the cataloguing process ? examination, description and generation of searchable metadata ? for the collection of roughly 1,100 manuscripts in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish dating from the 8th to the 20th century CE.

The manuscripts are being digitized and made freely accessible through the HathiTrust Digital Library in order to facilitate the cataloguing work, which leverages a web-based ?crowdsourcing? approach to generate rich and detailed descriptions addressing both material and textual characteristics. The efforts of project staff at the University of Michigan, led by project cataloguer Evyn Kropf, are thus supplemented by contributions from the wider scholarly community as colleagues interact with brief inventory descriptions and the digitized manuscripts via the project website  ( http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic )

As of now, 686 of the roughly 870 previously uncatalogued manuscripts have been fully or near fully catalogued. 134 of these are manuscripts for which digitization is not possible at this time.

We greatly appreciate your support for the project thus far, and would be especially grateful for any further contributions you could make to the cataloguing of the remaining manuscripts, including review of existing descriptive data where available.

Of the manuscripts remaining to be fully catalogued, most are from the following collections

Heyworth-Dunne
http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/category/heyworth-dunne

F. E. Nuttall
http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/category/nuttall

Sulaiman Purchase
http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/category/sulaiman-purchase-collection

Stephen Spaulding
http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/category/stephen-spaulding-mss

McGregor
http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/category/mcgregor

Cataloguing is also still underway for a number of fascinating manuscripts from the Abdul Hamid Collection http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/category/abdulhamid including:

several calligraphy albums http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/?s=calligraphic+abdulhamid

a possible collection of declarations issued by certain grand viziers during the reign of Mehmet II http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/4269

several majm?`?t, not all previously identified as such, among them http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/4247

and this ?biographical work,? likely a collection of Ottoman chancery documents http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/archives/3833

Your expertise is an invaluable complement to our local cataloguing efforts. Treasures from the collection are being unearthed, and we appreciate your continued participation in the cataloguing endeavors.

We look forward to seeing your comments posted to the project site and thank you in advance for your valuable contribution to this project.

Please feel free to forward any questions, comments and/or suggestions to project staff at islamic.manuscripts at umich.edu

Subject: Novels in Lebanese dialect?

Hello All,

In the past, I found reading novels and other material in Egyptian
dialect had helped me a lot.  I now have a need to rapidly improve my
Lebanese dialect knowledge and speaking.  Does anyone have good
recommendations on novels where there is frequent usage of Lebanese
dialect in dialogues or even totally written in dialect?  I am sure my
expectation shows my level of ignorance, so tell me if such a thing
does not exist in the way I imagine.  I could not find any records of
such novels on the internet.  I do not want to drawn contentious
comparisons, but I am looking for things along the lines of Taxi in
terms of novels.  I searched my archive of list emails, but I did not
exactly find what I was looking for.

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Al
